Husting/Q&A Events

Husting/Q&A Events

We’ve asked candidates to take part in a video Q&A session which will be broadcast on the dates and times below.

[box type=”info” align=”alignleft” class=”” width=””]You can submit questions for the candidates via the online form -> submit candidate questions[/box]

These will be conducted in the following format:

• Solo Zoom video with myself, Jon Cook, and the candidate
• 2 minute timed opening statement from the candidate
• 10 questions that the candidates have seen in advance – 60 seconds to answer each question
• 10 questions that the candidate hasn’t seen in advance, to see how they think on their feet – 60 seconds to answer each question
• 2 minute timed closing speech

Questions will be a mixture of publicly submitted questions as well as some questions from ourselves.

The zoom videos will then have the answers “cut” so in the final event video you will have the question asked once and the answers will then be played out for each candidate in a rotational order. There will be no editing of the answers themselves, the only editing will be cutting the candidates answers to allow them to be pieced together in the final video.

The event videos will premiere on Facebook and YouTube at 8 pm on each of these dates, links will be posted up when the events are placed into the schedule:

• PFCC – Wed’s 28th April
• Stone Rural – Fri 30th April
• Stone Town Council by-election- Sun 2nd May
• Stone Urban – Tue 4th May

*Dates subject to change due to candidate availability – we will share updated dates when we have them confirmed.

You aim to make the video content as accessible as possible so as well as the video we will be:

• Transcribing the audio information into written form
• Time coding of the questions so that users can access the content they may be most interested in
• Subtitles on the video answers

If you feel that we can do more to make the content accessible please email elections@alittlebitofstone.com
